Hi all,

For those of us who remember the original, DOS-based Network General Sniffer™️ or are otherwise curious about computing history, its source code is now available at

https://dpiconsortium.org/sniffer-protocol-analyzer/

In case you aren't familiar with the Sniffer, it pretty much defined and dominated the network protocol analysis industry at the time.
